Letter to the Editor: Time to work together for better America

Wednesday, November 14, 2012

From the day President Obama took office to this past Election Day, it was Mitch McConnell and others desire to make this president a one-termer.

When John Boehner became speaker of the House he did everything in his power to make this happen. His leadership to not pass job bills and not support budgets not only kept the economy from moving forward, it also started to divide the parties even more. It showed that the GOP was not interested in working across the aisle.

During all the debates not one good comment was made in favor of Gov. Romney, nor did any of them try to assist in his campaign. As the campaign moved on, his staff had to correct him over 40 times saying this is not what he meant. Per Ann Romney, the week prior to the election, "I am glad Mitt is running because we need a grown up in the White House."

Excuse me, Ann, but are the Obamas not grown up?

As many of us complain about gas prices, looking back to the Bush years much of the time we were paying between $3.50 and $4.11 a gallon for gas.

The stock market is doing OK, but could have done better if the job bills were passed and our Social Security may have gone up a little more.

Home prices and new construction are starting to rebound.

If Romney and Bain Capital quit sending our manufacturing jobs to China or other places it should help our economy. Just before the election and still to this day they are trying to send Sensata jobs to China. Is this any way for a candidate who ran for president to act?

No one party can correct all the problems that have developed over the past 12 years. If the left and right cannot cross aisles then all the future presidential elections could become more negative than this one.

Remember that we are (one nation under God) not just the left or the right, so let's start working together to build a better United States of America.
